Also, if he'd c/r'ed all in its probably not a bluff because you are priced in anyway i think.
So unless you have seen him open shove the river with a nut something this river is insta-call just for the line, it screams plz dont call IMO.
I'm a little lost here - are u saying I should've potted the turn or the river? By the time the river came my push was less than the pot.

Regarding my turn bet - maybe I need to tinker my game, but I generally feel that potting the turn is dumb cuz u induce hands u r beating to fold, and often put yourself in really crappy pot odds decisions if you are behind. If I had a hand like 55 here I play it identically. pot was about 75 - I bet 45 (actually this was weaker than normal for me - normally I'd bet about 55 here). Giving him like 2.5 to 1. It's a good bet to induce a hand like 44, 77, 88, TT-AA to call or come over the top of me.
